Patient's question:
Cold hands and feet, less menstrual flow, stomach pain, cold sweat on the soles of the feet, lack of energy, lower back painDoctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, cold hands and feet indicate poor blood and qi circulation or qi and blood deficiency. It's possible that you have a cold constitution and could benefit from consuming warming and heat-producing foods, such as brown sugar, ginger, and red dates. Alternatively, you might be overly sensitive, leading to liver qi stagnation. The liver is responsible for regulating blood and qi flow, and its dysfunction can affect the smooth circulation of qi and blood throughout the body. Another possibility is that you lack physical activity or have a sedentary job. You should also observe whether your cold hands and feet are accompanied by other symptoms, such as stomach coldness. Regular exercise and maintaining a positive mood can also help improve the condition.
